Well a little update. Not going to get into MF'ing a company but just to throw this out there.
Thought to save time would just buy a Hemi to glide Engine plate with an SFI Flexplate. Figured the couple hundred extra would buy me a few hours of labor savings. Wrong. :-\
First off contacted company before ordering and asked a few questions like. To make sure the adapter was as in picture and located the flexplate on outside of crank flange. Confirmed by 2 people that it did and its just as picture showed. Also what starter is used and anything special to understand when ordering converter.
Doing a floor check found:
- They sent a bushing that located the flex plate off the rough drilled center hole on crank. What happened to the correct adapter like they said was in kit? For kicks and giggles figured to get some numbers. When I indicated the center hole it ran out over .008 on crank. When said bushing is tapped in place it runs out .009.
- The flex plate has .005 slop fitting to this said adapter bushing.
How we doing so far? Now the coup de grace.
- Put the starter in the pocket to check mesh. Nope the starter gears had about .050 in interference from 0 mesh.
- Put a glide case on to see about alignment from Crank CL to powerglide CL. Now if something is amiss here please let me know but indicated from crank to the pump bore. Loaded my indicator by .030 and when I swung around to other side ( indicator face was facing bell housing ) just lookin at indicator tip could visibly see about .020 gap from tip to bore. :o :o :o. Didnt have enough indicator travel to get a full read.
At this point its discussed ( Matt and I) that this thing is going back.
Anyone have some data they could share on acceptable tolerances with respect to the trans alignment. Its no wonder I have seen people having issues with pump seal leaks, pump breakage, converters loosening up.
If you think about these interfaces and tolerance stack up. Its asking a lot for something going to spin up as much as it will.
So just some info please share your thoughts. Dont be shy. ;)
Material being ordered , moving on
thank you
Luke
